32. They've more or less admitted it was a publicity stunt, and won't actually happen
The chief executive is well known for trying to get free publicity for the airline by getting into the headlines.

Michael O'Leary, the budget airline's chief executive, revealed today that it is considering coin slots on cubicle doors.

"One thing we have looked at in the past and are looking at again is the possibility of maybe putting a coin slot on the toilet door so that people might actually have to spend a pound to spend a penny in future," he told BBC Breakfast.
...
Stephen McNamara from Ryanair said: "Michael makes a lot of this stuff up as he goes along and while this has been discussed internally there are no immediate plans to introduce it."

He added: "Not everyone uses the toilet on board one of our flights but those that do could help to reduce airfares for all passengers. Then again, maybe O'Leary was just taking the piss this morning."
